Rahani Yaacob, Regional General Manager, in her speech said, “We have recently opened our doors and started operations since 27th November 2019. The response has been overwhelming. Even before we opened, we had people coming in, asking to make appointments! Tebrau is certainly flourishing. With more residential and commercial properties sprouting up at such a dynamic pace, we realised that there would be a demand for healthcare from residents in and around Tebrau. This justifies a second Columbia Asia hospital in Johor after Iskandar Puteri. At four storeys high with 205 beds compared to the average 100 in our standard model, this branch is the biggest in the Columbia Asia group of hospitals. This allows us to accommodate more than just the residents of Tebrau. We have also embarked on healthcare tourism and are expecting patients from as far as Singapore, Indonesia, even China.” She also relayed a brief motivational speech about taking better care of seniors and their aging health.
